I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Harvard University, where I also received an A.M. in Statistics. My CV is available here.
I study the political economy of foreign direct investment, multinational corporations, corporate political activity, and regulation. My work focuses on the relationship between global firms and their host governments in both developed and developing countries, examining how investors influence environmental, labor, and tax regulation, and how they shape host countries' democratic politics. My work has received the American Political Science Association’s Best Poster Award, the APSA-NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG), and an honorable mention for the International Studies Association’s Martin O. Heisler Award.
